This is a dime that I found in a set I bought on ebay. This dime has die clashes obverse and reverse. On the reverse the easiest to see is by the blade there is a D and an S and on the obverse there are leaves by the lower section of hair. There is also doubling on some of the letters is that MD or actually doubled die?

Nice clash but MD and harshly cleaned (worked on).

MD - at least as far as I can tell from the pictures.... Cheers, RickO

Die clashes are most commonly seen on the obverse in front of Liberty's forehead in the field. Dramatic and very strong die clashes do command a healthy premium in high mint state examples. Your example seems to be lightly circulated and also has other issues. Based on that, it would not command a premium. Still a fun find.

Thank you for the info. I use LED lighting because it brings out all the issues on a coin if I used natural or incandescent lighting the coin would look much nicer. I thought the die clash on the reverse was neat. Here are some other pics which do you prefer?

Silver weight all the way to 10$ in a flip at a flee market

It is not a problem free coin. $5-10 maybe but you have to find someone that has the desire to spend money on a problem coin first.
